Thanks to Lenovo volunteers and Morrisville town staff, the Pugh House grounds are a much more attractive sight these days. The group combined plants recovered from the site of the former Bristol Myers facility with some new foliage, top soil and mulch on a recent Thursday morning. The result? A fine start toward sprucing up the exterior of the historic home.
What's next? Sod, lead paint removal by a professional, wood replacement and a fresh coat of paint. Oh, and money. There isn't any. Town revenue is down, and paint and sod don't qualify as essentials. So...... Council Member Pete Martin has asked the town to create a Pugh House account for receipt of donations. Funds can be sent directly to the Town of Morrisville, marked for Pugh House Renovation.
Many volunteer hours and thousands of dollars to go. A heartfelt thanks to those who are helping build momentum.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. In fact, it's the only thing that ever has."
Doing a lot of hard work over there in Morrisville! Thanks for the post ;-)
